Dogs and cats have always had gear around the house, from a comfy pillow to nap on or a chew toy to play with, but a new trend is kicking things up a notch for our beloved pets that involves considering them before making major design and remodeling decisions.
Jennifer Kovacs, Vice President of Design and Development at Petco tells RetailMeNot, “Pet parents continue to find new ways to treat and care for their pets as they would any other family member – including them in the home design process is just another way to do that. It’s more than just designating space for your pets to wipe their muddy paws; it’s about incorporating your pets’ behavior and preferences into the flow and design of your home, instead of tucking it all away.”
“If the pet parent leans toward a modern, minimalist style for their home, they’re looking for items that help them extend that style to their pets’ spaces, as well.”
Maybe you don’t have the space or budget to build a full-on pet palace, but there are still many ways to incorporate a sense of style and pizzazz while shopping for your pet. After all, who is more deserving of spoiling than our beloved companions? Scroll down for some fun finds.
